Split Decision

Lyrics by Greg Edwards, Music by Zak Sandler

Daniel Rhodes, a struggling author, has received the opportunity of a lifetime:
to move to
Hollywood and adapt his latest story into a blockbuster film. But there’s a
catch—if he
accepts the job, he must give up his life in New York, including the most
promising
relationship he’s ever been in. As Daniel makes his decision, the narrative
branches into
two interweaving paths: what happens if Daniel chooses love, and what happens if
he
chooses career. Each path brings unforeseen successes, startling challenges, and
illustrates
how just one choice can ripple through the universe to shape our lives, the
people around
us, and the people we might have been.

Setup:That
afternoon, Daniel receives the opportunity of a lifetime: to move to
Hollywood and adapt his story into a blockbuster film. But there’s a
catch: if he accepts the gig, he has to give up New York, including the
most promising relationship he’s ever been in.

As Daniel makes his decision, the narrative branches into two
paths: what happens if he chooses love, and what happens if he chooses
career.

Here, having chosen career, Danny catches the next flight to Los
Angeles. At LAX, he’s greeted by Philippe, the studio boss’s assistant,
who introduces him to the West Coast.

"My daughter, by the acceptance of your hand, has made it perfectly clear that she doesn’t need me anymore. So I’m doing what any reasonable mother would do and throwing myself from Europe’s largest timepiece."
